I could've brought the Spa incident up, but didn't because that was simply crap weather and shumi not being able to see DCs slower car. He did go off on one and blame DC for it, but to be honest neither was at fault. It happened to Senna in Australia when he plowed into brundle in the same way....but Senna didn't go storming off down the pit lane to punch Brundle.
To be honest last year it was all down to the fact that Button had THE best car for half the year. As soon as the other team caught up Button was no where, and I really lost the will to support him towards the end of the year and started supporting Barrichello more as he was doing a better job with what he had.
So that proves how much the car and team is the winning combination.
Don't get me wrong, when they build next years merc around schumi he will probably rise to the forefront again, which again will show that it is the car and team that make the difference to wether a driver can win or not.
BUT, a brilliant driver can make a bad/average car a winning car, as Senna used to. Schumacher struggled to do that. Which is why he moved Ross brawn and all the other members of the Benetton technical team over to Ferrari when he moved there.
He is obviously a good driver otherwise he wouldn't be where he is. But THE best, I don't think so, no matter what the statistics say.
Just my opinion.
